Tall Flag Seeks A Different Angle Poise and dignity were two qualities which were possessed by every Tall Flag member this year. Led by Captain Shannon Smith and Co-captain Shanna McSorley, they began their successful year at USA Camp in Santa Barbara where they practiced long hours to perfect their performance techniques, their marching, and their showmanship. This rigorous training brought them much success and many awards., Four members of the St. John Bosco Tall Flag team, Michelle Moran, Shanna McSorley, Elizabeth O'Don- nell, and Shannon Smith, were semi- finalists competing for the title of Miss Super Sensational . Two, Shan- non and Shanna, competed in the fin- als, out of a total of six hundred par- ticipants, for the award and a chance to return to the camp as an instructor. Three members, Merinda Bradshaw, Mary Spaulding, and Michelle Moran, participated in the Final Drill Down competition and for the second year in a row, Mary won the first place medallion. The girls brought a routine to the camp and were awarded a Superior pennant for it. Further, a Superior trophy was awarded to the team for their perfor- mances of the many routines they learned at camp. Using techniques they learned at camp, the girls entered many field shows, perades, and Spring Court competitions, such as the Baldwin Park Field Show Competition, the Downey Christmas Parade, and Miss Drill Team USA. Also they travelled to Washington D.C. with the band and competed against many other bands from across the country. The tall flag team had many suc- cesses in their competition, performed at the rallies with enthusiasm and unified St. John Bosco and St. Joseph making 1987-88 alive. SlH5 PRESS 109
